Exactly! Great to see some sane people around here. It's shocking that a lot of people actually consider Sumahama to be better than Here Comes The Night. It is after all IMHO (and I've said this before, and I'll say it again) the worst song the BB's ever did other than the songs off SIP. I'd like to know why people dislike the disco Here Comes The Night so much (aside from the length, which is understandable). I think it's very well made, and doesn't deserve the hatred it gets around here!

I believe that people hate it because it's too far from the standard BB sound. Plus disco is a genre that possibly most of the hardcore BB fans hate, and that's why they like to hate HCTN. I've played it to people who don't mind too much about Beach Boys or disco music and they liked it.

That's interesting. I myself for the most part don't mind Disco. It's certainly not my favourite genre, and I don't care for a large percentage of it at all. If I was around in the late 70's, I would have considered it to be highly overrated, and the Disco lifestyle is...... "shudder".But for the most part, it's tolerable, and I consider the disco Here Comes The Night to be one of the very best of the genre!It's all subjective though, I suppose a lot of people may have different opinions on that

disco lifestyle "shudder" .. what? anything that you "shudder" at is probably the best thing ever, it's probably the most fun thing in the world. Catch a Wave "shudder" .... snorting coke and dancing to Kc & The Sunshine band "shudder". I feel like I want to punch you.

I missed you!

My vote is Here Comes The Night, only because it's just so darn long. I kinda dig it otherwise.

A band called The Beach Boys are mostly going to be a fun in the sun-themed group. And that has, is, and will always be just as it should. There needs to be ONE classic band that isn't a pack of endless "artistic" moan. All people wanna do is make The Beach Boys into another Beatles they are less tired of.And, for anyone who has actually experienced them, surfing and cars carry PLENTY of emotion and life experience. They can carry as much metaphor as any Van Dyke Parks clever epistle.

I don't exactly HATE here comes the night (disco), it's just I can't get over the length. A ten minute song has no place on a pop album, unless that's how long it takes to sing all the lyrics (cf. Dylan) but should be kept to the 12 inch single exclusion zone. It's particularly unacceptable on a record from the former kings of the killer two-minute single. As for Sumahama, it's so teeth-rottingly oversweet it's almost admirable, like a big pop art sculpture of a marshmallow. I don't like it but it's an interesting curio, and it served its purpose as a sop to Mike Love's ego.

I just unsuccessfully trolled Jarhead or got trolled BY him, I can't figure out which. Either way, I now deserve to die. Suicide emoticon please??

OK, I'm quoting this one, but this applies to both you and Jarhead... both please stop firing each other up.

@ halblaineisgood: even if it's meant to be funny - aggressive comments are not wanted here. Ignore, or take it to PM's@ Jarhead: I understand your response, but be aware that by replying this way you're not exactly helping to cool things down. Again the advise is ignore, or PM's. and in case of a complaint report it to the mods.

Rule of thumb, think BEFORE you post. And THINK how it may affect someone else's feelings.

Check out the Beach Boys Starline website, the place for pictures of many countries Beach Boys releases on 45.
